senator smith, pretend you were to wake up 20 years from today. what kind of business model would be, would we be looking at for broadcast? i mean, with more people viewing things over the internet, some people are even questioning whether it's going to exist. what's your view on that? >> guest: well, it has to exist because, again, there's not enough spectrum to do video or television on a broadband basis. you can do, you can send a youtube and things like that, but if you start downloading, you know, a whole, tremendous amount -- all your television viewing -- it just simply will fail you. so our architecture in the end plus that thest free and it's -- that it's free and it's local, that's something that cable which is taped or time delayed or a satellite content similar that's not a local focus, it's not free. it's something you pay for, and it's something that in the end, you know, something like sports, i think it's really important to the american people that broadcasters continue to be the primary focus of sports communications because, um,

smith then presented the delegates with a list of demands. she told hospital officials to end the practice of dumping poor and uninsured patients and transferring them in unstable conditions, and establishing clinics where people could attend instead of going to the emergency room. she called for a requirement for all hospitals to accept medicaid patients, demanded patient representatives and members of the community especially of the 4 should have seats on hospital boards. asked for informed consent about medical treatment and especially that all patients be treated with dignity. supposedly the audience of hospital officials listened politely to all this but when smith finished speaking they went about their business at the convention as if nothing happened. shortly after this meeting the american hospital association began drafting the first patient bill of rights which was eventually adopted by hospitals all over the country. and include crucial rights geraldine smith mentioned such as the right of patients to have informed consent. hospit

smith. i want to dwell on a moment for o.p. smith. he's a marine general, he's reporting to almond and mcarthur. it's a fascinating problem because he believes his superior officers are incorrect in their assessment of the situation and in the orders they're giving him. he has to handle a situation in which mcarthur wants him to run his marines up to the chinese border just when he believes the chinese are pouring into korea. and believes correctly, by the way. he handles this extremely well. it's said that the most important things a general can do are all done before the battle begins, and i think that's true in o.p. smith's case. he does three things; he concentrates his troops on the west and south chiez of the reservoir, he lays down a series of supply depots in case he has to retreat, and he has an air strip dug so he can fly out his wounded. had he not done these things, i think we might very well have lost 15,000 marines. at the reservoir, which would have made it the greatest military disaster in american history, many times
